Nonstop flight route between Wahiawa, Hawaii, United States and Kerman, Iran:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Wheeler AAF (HHI), Wahiawa, Hawaii, United States and Kerman International Airport (KER), Kerman, Iran would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,172 miles (or 13,152 kilometers).

A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the large distance between Wheeler AAF and Kerman International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.

Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between Wheeler AAF and Kerman International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Kerman International Airport (KER):

• The closest airport to Kerman International Airport (KER) is Sirjan Airport (SYJ), which is located 92 miles (148 kilometers) WSW of KER.

Combined with a high temperature, this could make KER a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The furthest airport from Kerman International Airport (KER) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is located 11,584 miles (18,643 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
